In this powerful episode of Tim James Upgraded, host Tim James interviews Dr. Dawn Ewing, executive director of the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine (IABDM), about the profound connection between oral health and systemic disease. Ewing shares her personal journey—from a dental hygienist with traumatic childhood dental experiences to a certified naturopathic doctor and EMT—culminating in a life-altering revelation after her son was diagnosed with autism linked to mercury toxicity. She reveals how decades of exposure to mercury through dental work, contact lenses, vaccines, and contraceptives contributed to her son’s condition and her own health struggles. The episode exposes the dangers of mercury amalgam fillings, root canals, and undetected jawbone cavitations, all of which can harbor chronic infections that contribute to diabetes, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and neurological disorders. Ewing emphasizes that 70% of chronic health issues may stem from dental neglect and nutrient deficiencies, and she advocates for biological dentistry that prioritizes safe mercury removal, non-reactive materials like zirconium implants, and a holistic, team-based approach to healing. She urges listeners to get 3D cone beam scans, find certified biological dentists via IABDM.org, and take proactive control of their health through nutrition, detoxification, and informed choices.
Mercury amalgam fillings are toxic and should be removed using safe protocols to prevent systemic poisoning.
Root canals can harbor silent infections that contribute to diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and cancer.
Cavitations—voids in jawbone after tooth extraction—can become chronic infection sites undetectable on standard X-rays.
Nutrient deficiencies, especially in vitamins D, K2, and folate, are foundational to dental and systemic health.
A 3D cone beam scan is essential for identifying hidden dental issues like cavitations and infections.

The Hidden Root of Chronic Disease: Dentistry and Toxicity
“You have bad teeth because of nutrient deficiencies. You have allergies... because of long-term nutrient deficiencies. You have so many issues out there because of long-term nutrient deficiencies.”
Dr. Dawn Ewing’s Personal Journey: From Trauma to Transformation
“I had a party last night at my house, and I used green cups and red cups... I happen to have a special pair of glasses. Put these on. Oh, wow. They're two different. Yeah, I can see that.”
The Science of Hidden Infections: Root Canals, Cavitations, and Mercury
“The tooth is dead. There's no more blood flow to the tooth. There's no more nerves to the tooth. So you can't feel the pain. Now you've got an infected tooth and you don't even know it.”
The Power of Holistic Dentistry: Safe Removal and Biocompatible Materials
Ewing outlines the standards of biological dentistry, including safe mercury removal protocols, use of ceramic and zirconium implants, and the importance of testing materials for biocompatibility to avoid immune reactions.
Case Studies: From Diabetes to Autism—The Dental Connection
“I had a woman with a hemoglobin A1c of 15. She didn't take metformin. She didn't change her diet. Exercise. They didn't do anything other than have this one tooth taken out.”
